THE OFFICIAL BIO:

My real name is Ryan. That's the name that my parents had agreed that I would be named. When I was born my dad decided that he wanted to name me Samuel. My mom was all drugged up and passed out because I had a huge round head and was too stubborn to make it easy on her, but my grandma stopped him from writing it on the birth certificate.

Growing up my dad and I had an odd relationship and he had nicknames for everyone. He would never call us or any of our friends by our real names. At different times he would call me by different names (Scottie for instance), but "Sam" was the one that just wouldn't go away. I'd be in the middle of a soccer game and he'd be on the sidelines yelling "GET THE BALL, SAM!"

I hated it. I really did.

My grandpa, who as far as I know had invented the nickname thing and passed it on to all of his kids, liked the name too. He had a Golden Retriever that he loved as a son and he named him Sam. This caused a conflict whenever I came into town, so he would specify by calling the dog "Sam the dog" and me "Sam the boy". I was okay with that because my grandpa was amazing. He also threatened to break all of our arms every time we talked to him, but he really just meant an indian burn. If you want to learn some more about him, listen to my song "Sing to Me". He's the stubborn old cowboy. Since he died a couple years ago I've thought about him a lot and now I miss him calling me "Sam the boy", and singing his dumb little song, and all that. This is my attempt to keep it alive.

Anyway, that's the story. I hope you found it to be both enjoyable and educational.


THE PROPAGANDA:

"You know that type of music that makes you feel, love, live? I hate to get all emotional on your ass, but I can't help it. After listening to Sam the Boy, the music of 24-year-old Arizona native Ryan Sullivan, you'll feel the same. Full of heart and passion, he's doing something right as far as making you feel each note he plays."
- MusicPatch Magazine

"For Sam the Boy, a song starts with a line, builds toward a melody and finishes with guitar riffs... [His] acoustic-folk music is relaxing enough to fall asleep to, but that does not mean it's boring. The honesty of the lyrics and the simplicity of the harmonies offer a chance for the mind to unwind and soak in the peaceful vocals"

I've gotta a little story I want to share:

So I heard this song called Honest by the Guest Room...
Or so I thought...
I loved the lyrics... the whole song... every word. Everything was amazing...
I listened to it a lot....

But one day it was gone.

It had been atleast a year since I heard it. But I never forgot about that song.

I would search desperately on the internet for "The Guest Room Honest" I wouldn't ever find anything...
I would write down all the lyrics I remembered in a word document· just to never forget that song. I even remembed there was a line that said "the truth or something beautiful" that they never sang...

Today... I accidently saved over that document with a blank document· I quickly typed up what I remembered again... Then I decided, hey I'll search some of the lyrics...

Then I found it in lyrics by "Sam the Boy" I'm like... hmmm, oh was the Guest Room doing a cover! And then I say you singing The Truth or Something Beautiful in a youtube video, then I search Sam the Boy, found your myspace. And now Here I am! You were the original artist yes?

I love the title. I love the song. This may in fact be my favorite song of all time. So thank you. Thank you for writing "The Truth or Something Beautiful".

Now I need to check out your other music :)

I can't complain. I get to see trees everyday, even in the crummy parts of town! Been trying to write more words and sing more songs. It's a tough crowd. Atlanta is very fertile ground for it, though. Looking to move closer to the city (Atlanta, and all it encompasses) soon. All the way to the Bahamas. You poor thing.
